About this work

A hand-coloured celestial star chart from 1805 by Johann Elert Bode, showing the constellation Hercules as a muscular figure with a club, alongside the Northern Crown, the serpent, Ophiuchus, Cerberus and other figures. Star positions are marked with coordinates along the border, and the figures are rendered in gold, green, blue and flesh tones.
